The Light in the Mist
Your friend’s mysterious disappearance results in the discovery of an unusual item, leading you to embark on a journey through time and memory. In this narrative puzzle adventure, an intimate coming-of-age story is told through an object that serves as a tarot deck, a puzzle game, and a work of art. You will need to manipulate cards, find hidden messages, and solve logic and word problems in order to uncover the deck’s secrets. The tarot deck contains 78 cards--56 Minor Arcana and 22 Major Arcana, the latter of which each represent a puzzle. Puzzles are solved using sets of Minor Arcana cards and clues from the story booklet and result in solution keywords that lead players to discover new pieces of the narrative. Some story passages grant items which can be later used to unlock extra scenes, and some puzzles have multiple answers, allowing players to unlock more of the story if they find all the solutions. Packed with gorgeous illustrations, resonant storytelling, and unique puzzles, The Light in the Mist can be played solo or cooperatively in a small group. It’s non-linear structure and varied puzzle difficulty will engage players of all experience levels with over five hours of gameplay. Do you have what it takes to overcome the challenges thrown your way without getting lost in the mist?

Hidden Leaders: Forgotten Legends
This expansion for Hidden Leaders comes with 3 new modules: A new faction, four leaders, and 20 new heroes. The guardians are a powerful race that everyone can use but using them too much will lead to the Guardian Leaders winning. Artifacts will upgrade your leader character. Each artifact gives the respective player a unique ability that can be used 2-3 times during the game. A bag full of nasty corruption tokens. Two times during the game, a wave of corruption allows you to secretly change the alliance of your heroes or the heroes of your friends. But be careful: some of these changes are dangerous traps that players can use to protect their heroes.
